Chapter 1622: Chapter 694: Is Being a Top Student That Impressive?

Amidst the little boy’s roaring laughter, the hourglass on the ground shattered completely, scattering its white sand everywhere.

A vortex-shaped energy turbulence suddenly whipped up in the cave, easily dispersing and vanishing the Sword Qi of the God of Decapitation that floated in mid-air.

Mu You was also blown back repeatedly by this energy, instinctively reaching out to shield himself from the sandstorm, and with the strong attributes of his battle suit, he barely managed to halt the retreat.

Meanwhile, at the center of the altar, the boy’s laughter abruptly stopped and turned to screams.

Mu You glanced with the corner of his eye and saw the boy, engulfed in the center of the storm, his entire body torn apart by powerful energy currents until he vanished completely at the heart of the swirling wind.

The storm continued to expand outward, and seeing the situation getting out of control, Mu You was about to exit the cave when he suddenly felt something strange on his body. He reached back into his bag and pulled out an item: a hollow block.

This was an artifact obtained from the Z-World Travelers long ago, used to protect the shell of the Shard of Time’s Heart.

The Shard of Time’s Heart within had already been extracted by Mu You and used in the Pocket Watch, leading to its upgrade.

The remaining block, already fragmented on the surface, could not withstand the storm’s ravages, and shattered completely upon its appearance.

Along with the block’s destruction, Mu You’s body became bound to the spot by a surge of energy, unable to move, forced to watch helplessly as the engulfing Energy Storm drowned out his vision...

The storm lasted for about half a minute before stopping.

Everything within the cave became still once more, silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Suddenly, there was a crisp ding, as a transparent helmet collided with the cave wall, emerged, then fell to the ground, rolling in circles until it finally stopped.

Seconds later, the helmet, regaining consciousness, quivered, floating up from the ground and hurriedly turning to look.

The entire cave was now empty, with no trace or aura of Mu You or the boy...

...

At the same time, outside the World-Creating Mountain.

A thunderous roar emerged from within the mountain.

In confrontation, Red Sleeve and Lin Xue both paused, instinctively turning to look at the distant mountain range.

There was no visible change in the mountain’s exterior, but such a disturbance surely indicated some kind of incident inside.

Lin Xue was somewhat worried about Mu You’s safety.

Noticing Lin Xue’s turn, Red Sleeve’s eyes flickered. Taking advantage of Lin Xue’s distraction, she suddenly sprang, bypassed Lin Xue, and dashed towards the World-Creating Mountain.

Lin Xue was surprised, quickly regaining her composure, and upon seeing Red Sleeve sprinting away, she hurried after her.

The two engaged in a chase where Red Sleeve periodically threw chains from her hands to hinder Lin Xue’s pace.

In this pursuit and attack, they quickly reached the front of the World-Creating Mountain, with Red Sleeve heading straight for the open stone door, Lin Xue closely following.

However, both passed through the mountain’s body as if phasing through, unable to touch any solid objects.

Neither of them were Admins, naturally unable to enter the World-Creating Mountain.

Amidst their bewilderment, the World-Creating Mountain above them suddenly rippled like water, gradually becoming illusory and transparent, until it completely vanished.

Seconds later, the site reverted to its original desert scene, empty, with no mountain in sight.

Evidently, the World-Creating Mountain’s appearance time for the day had ended.

When the World-Creating Mountain sinks into oblivion, in theory, all creatures and materials entering from outside should be forcefully expelled.

Yet at this moment, Mu You and the little boy were nowhere to be seen.

"Where are they? Where did you take him?" Red Sleeve coldly glared at Lin Xue and demanded.

Lin Xue frowned at the question, "That’s supposed to be my question to you!"

The two glared at each other, holding their weapons tightly, the atmosphere growing tense.

The abrupt sharp sound of something cutting through the air arose, a white object shot from mid-air, straight toward Red Sleeve.

"Hmm?" Red Sleeve stared at the incoming object, finding the noise too conspicuous for a sneak attack, easily visible to anyone.

As the object approached, she instinctively swung her chain.

"Ding!"

A metallic clashing sound was heard as the flying object was whipped away by Red Sleeve, rolling onto the sand not far away.

Only then did they realize the object was a helmet.

The helmet landed, soon floating up again, like a drunken person, shaking its head, first identifying directions, then wobblingly floating towards Lin Xue before landing in her hand.

"Where is he?" Lin Xue asked urgently.

Ava, who had attached herself to Mu You and entered the World-Creating Mountain with him, was now expelled with the mountain’s disappearance, yet Mu You was nowhere to be found.

Red Sleeve beside her also tuned in eagerly.

"Both of them were swept into a space-time storm, vanishing as they were carried away in the storm..." Ava’s voice rang in Lin Xue’s mind.

"What?" Lin Xue was somewhat dazed; she’d never heard of a space-time storm: "What happened exactly?"

Ava described what she had witnessed inside the World-Creating Mountain.

"...Given the situation, what the person activated likely was a kind of time transfer artifact... Meaning, they have already left our current space-time, heading to another timeframe within the World-Creating Mountain."

"Another timeframe..."

Lin Xue listened more bewilderedly: "Exactly what timeframe?"

"It’s unclear, the data is too uncertain to analyze. It could be in the past or the future, depending on the birth of that artifact’s timeframe. In relative terms, it’s more likely in the past."
